Whenever something is eaten at midnight, I guess it can be called a midnight snack. You know, just when you're up and it's around midnight and you're kinda hungry or you see something you want to eat so you eat it. And it's, like, midnight. And then you just do whatever you do until you go to bed.
That's a midnight snack, right?
But remember when we were kids and a midnight snack meant waking up from your sleep solely for the purpose of finding a snack at midnight, eating it, and then going back to bed?
The phrase "midnight snack" had such an adrenaline-rushed appeal, as if it was rebellion disguised as an innocent need.
I don't think I had many midnight snacks as a kid. I could never wake myself up for them.
